Don't Move by Margaret Mazzantini
4.0
Thank you for recommending this masterpiece to me, my Bonnibel.
This book ravaged me. Books like this are the reason I love to read. I like to seek out things that make me feel deeply and Mazzantini's Non Ti Muovere stoked intense white heat emotion in me. This is not a story about beautiful love, it's a brilliantly written love story with it's ugliness laid completely bare, told from the perspective of the most narcissistic, selfish bastard in literary history. I hated him more and more with every chapter. The women in his life ultimately deserve so much better but this isn't a fairy tale. This is the story of a man that can only see through the narrow lens of his own putrescence and self-induced misery.
